The Rake-Head Scrap Metal Weapon is a rake head welded onto a steel shaft. It is a two-handed crafted club that trains the Long Blunt skill. It hits much harder than a plain Rake and crits often, with a crit that deals four times the damage.
It is a weapon for a survivor with a welding setup. The Make Scrap Metal Weapon recipe builds it at Welding 5 from a Rake Head and a Steel Rod or Iron Pipe. As loot it turns up only in late-game survivor safehouses, and only on very rare occasions. The Construction Worker is the best occupation for long blunt. It starts with the most Long Blunt skill.
Combat
The Rake-Head Scrap Metal Weapon swings at normal speed and reaches about 1.2 tiles. Each hit deals between 0.6 and 1.5 damage, so an ordinary zombie drops in a few swings. The critical chance starts at 30 percent, and a crit multiplies the damage four times. Frequent hard crits are its main strength.
The weapon is two-handed and weighs 3. Each swing costs a fair amount of endurance, so short fights suit it better than a long brawl. The Long Blunt skill raises damage and attack speed with each level, and it lowers wear.
Compared with the plain Rake, it hits about three times harder and lasts far longer. It trades the Rake's long reach for that damage. The other scrap metal weapons come from the same recipe with a different head. The game also tags it as a weapon that can kill animals.
